Copyright Permission

Our favourite song choice for making a music video out of the four is 'Dear Future Husband' by Meghan Trainor. We like the overall tone of the song, it is definitely in the pop genre but is not a hybrid genre. I believe the genre crosses with a 50's/swing/rock & roll genre which gives it a very upbeat feel that we love. This music video will have a lot of high energy performance, possibly with a 50's style theme.

We have followed Meghan on Twitter and decided to seek permission to use her song through this.

We also emailed her PR team asking for permission to use the song. However we have yet to get a reply from either media.

Possible Song Choice

On our Twitter account we were followed by a couple from America called 'Brytt & Kev' who are a Indie-Pop band. We thought we would take the opportunity and listen to their music. We really like their song 'Best Friends and Lovers' and may consider it as a song choice for our music video. As they follow us we direct messaged them asking permission and they granted us with it.

We like the song because it is clearly a pop song which is quite catchy, the only problem is that we can't immediately imagine a music video for it, whereas our other song choices we can imagine an idea for a video straight away.

Twitter Account

Bronwyn and I have decided to create a twitter account to engage further into social media. This will allow us to follow artists we like and get inspiration towards our music video. We can also tweet about what we are learning and lessons and how our work is coming along.

We screen-shoted the process of setting the account up.

This screen shot shows the different topics of accounts you can like and follow, as our task is about music and creating a music video we followed the music topic.

To make our blog personalised we changed the design of our page, we used a plain neutral colour of grey and black for the background with a highlight of pink to make it a bit 'pop-y' which relates to the genre we will probably be using throughout the task.
